PE1 Flash ActionScript 3

I have decided to dive into learning ActionScript 3, Flash’s updated programming language. This will be a big step considering ActionScript 3 can be used to make apps for Apple’s mobile devices. I have been using ActionScript 2 for a while now so I think its time to move up.


The above code is a cool little piece of script to make a box. Yes it would be easier to use the box tool, but this is all dynamic. Im still learning, but I plan on making a simple browser based application where users can create and alter shapes from a toolbar. Flash is one of the main applications used at work, and currently, all its really used for is animations and occasional interactive map based diagrams. Im trying to push everyone at work to move to Flash or Flex for final interface implementation instead of JavaScript. Flex is basically Flash for programmers, which can really come in handy if we do move to an all Flash based training team.
